I COUNT MY BLESSINGS When I'm worried, and I can't sleep I go to the pasture and play with the sheep They gather 'round me with fleece so warm Play a little rough, but mean no harm I am soon tired, ready for night-night But they really have me squeezed in tight The only thing visible is my little head I wish they would let me go on to bed But they are so friendly and wanting to play I'll probably be here 'til the crack of day Then they'll be grazing in green grass deep While I am wishing to just go to sleep This flock of sheep are my only friends Not ducks, or geese, or Mama's old hens So I am content to frolic and play And end up sleeping the entire day Tomorrow night will probably be the same And the sheep are always glad that I came So I'm not complaining, nor am I stressing My friends, the sheep, are truly a blessing 8 January 2018 For Eve Roper's contest There Is A Brighter Picture No. 3

There's always a silver lining even when we can't sleep and playing with is better than simply 'counting all the sheep'! lol I really like your perspective conveyed in this delightful poem of yours. *smiling* :) Keep up the great lines.

I love your analogy, Sharon. I do believe it is easier to fall asleep if I count my Blessings instead of sheep (no pun intended --- lol) Thanks for your king remarks.

James, no pun intended here for you nor me, but we both have our 'own flock of sheep' to tend. God has given us the awesome responsibility to humbly spread the Gospel. I know that you do His bidding and lead your 'flock' in His steps. Thank you for you comment. You are a great encouragement to me and to others. I praise God that we have men like you who keep others reminded of the I AM of the Old Testament.
